A hallmark of cinematic history, Western film has long been defined by its sweeping landscapes, its strong thematic focuses, and its larger-than-life stories that have long been a powerful vessel to explore cultural and national identities as well as notions of violence, heroism, honor, and justice. While the genre’s narrative tropes are well established, there have been plenty of Western films that have incorporated enthralling and even shocking plot twists to see the story veer in interesting directions while leaving audiences staggered.

Over the course of the lifespan of the PlayStation 1, some games made it clear that things were never going to be the same again, and other games didn’t have that immediate impact.

Think of your game collection as entertainment, not an obligation to clear a "backlog". Backlogs can be seen as a rainy-day blessing, offering a treasure chest of options. It's okay not to finish all your games - don't be weighed down by the sunk cost fallacy or feel obligated to play them all.

A breath of wildly fresh air (or echoes). Nintendo surprisingly announced a brand new 2D Zelda game with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, due out in September 2024. While a lot of folks definitely hoped for a Zelda game where you play as Zelda, I don’t think it was on many Bingo cards before the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. But here we are: living in a world where Nintendo revealed the latest entry in their legendary Zelda series just three months before its launch. And it looks great! The map looks like it’s a modified version of Link to the Past, but Link never had the power to create beds and moblins out of thin air before. And his inventory didn’t look like it was straight out of Breath of the Wild. And Link never had this kind of puzzle-solving freedom except for, well, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
